Celebrating July 4th

This July 4th we celebrated the good old fashion way—by eating American hot dogs! I haven't eaten a hot dog in a looooong time, and so it made the experience that much better. 

We enjoyed our "Shake Shack" hot dogs while sitting in the NYC heat. 

Since our lives revolve around Hunter's naps, after his second nap of the day, we headed out to Pat's favorite place in Central Park—the Ramble. It is the hidden gem in Central park where you are easily able to forget that just beyond the trees is a hustling city. 

Although it was July 4th, and the rest of the park was crawling with tourists and other city dwellers, the Ramble was some what subdued and very enjoyable. 

We have a nice treat this week of having David visting us from Maine. It is so great to see David with Hunter. David is such a great Uncle, always wanting to see pictures of Hunter and bringing him gifts from Maine. At first Hunter was a little scared of David when he first saw him, but now he can't get enough of him.

This trip David brought three shirts what included "Maine" in the design. They are so cute and it so sweet of David to spoil his nephew.

In the evening David ventured over to the West Side of Manhattan to watch The Macy's firework show, while Pat and I relaxed at home (the NYC heat always gets the best of me and sucks all my energy) and watched the show on T.V. —we even danced a bit to the rockin' jams.

Life is good.
